Argh!

This afternoon when I got back from work, I took about 200 photos and then sat down to drink a nice cup of tea and edit them all ready for use in my listings... "That's weird", I thought. "Why hasn't the camera focused properly in these?" After investigating I discovered a huge smudge on the lens! Argh! About 190 of the pictures had to be deleted straight away and now the light has gone. I was being so efficient (for once) and I have been foiled! Most annoying.

Some of the pics I have been able to salvage are some I took of my necklaces modelled, like these:Eventually I'd like to have shots of all my accessories (hairbands, brooches, necklaces) modelled by someone, they're so much nicer to look at than endless pictures of my hand! With the necklaces in particular I also think it's really useful to see what they look like on - they can look so different from when they lie flat - and they work very well for in instant idea of scale.

Before I go off and kick something in frustration at the smudging, here's last night's crafting 365 pic: slightly out of focus poppies...

UPDATE: My poppy design is now available as a sewing pattern! Visit my shop to see all my printable PDF patterns

I can tell that you put a great deal of work and love into your products. And the photos you show are great! Hope you continue to feel better.

I hate when things like that happen!

I'm still loving those pretty poppies! So cheerful!

oh no! how terrible!

I've been reading your blog for a while now, but I've been quite quiet. I have passed on a brilliant, inspiring blog award to you here http://missniff.blogspot.com/2008/07/oooooooh.html so I thought now was a good time to say "Hello"

Hope it brings some smiles after the photo nightmare
